I made my decision actually straight forward and simple. I was so bad at math, all I wanted is avoid more math classes. Enjoy writing, literature and languages, English was rather simple to me, so I chose to learn German linguistic and literature.

I had a listening test today. I listened to the audio many times, so I could write everything down, but I’m not sure if my answers are correct. Since I started taking the listening class this semester, I feel my listening skills have improved a lot. I can understand English conversations more easily than before. In December, I will take the TOEIC test, so I want to study hard and improve my English skills even more. I especially want to focus on listening and reading practice to get a higher score. Also, I want to take good care of my health. Recently, the flu has been spreading, so I always wash my hands, gargle, and wear a mask when I go out. I try to eat healthy food and drink a lot of water every day. If I get sick, I can’t study or concentrate well, so I make sure to get enough sleep at night. I hope to stay healthy and keep studying hard. My goal is to do my best in both English and health, and get a good score on the TOEIC in December!!

Recently, I'm interested in world business, economy and environment news. I don't studying there, but I want to study there. I often reading business, economy news by online news app. Then, environment news is picking up in that app, so I'm interested in these news. Especially, I usually read Africa's environment news and EU's economy. Africa's environment issues are so serious. For example, drought, water's shortage, and so on. I reading these solution news. I usually surprise to amazing solution.👀 EU's economy is also interesting. It's difficult, but I think that is important topic to me. World economy is connecting strongly. So we should reading other country's economy news. In addition, I occasionally reading some topics world news. Entertainment, political, technology and so on. Maybe, I like reading a news. But we should be careful about fake news. It is dangerous that misunderstanding by fake news. Readers have to keep a high level literacy.

Each year, on November 11th, it's a special day for Chinese people. It's the Shooping Online Day. I still remember the crazy situation about 15 years ago. When some smart ones created that special festival, most of the Chinese young people couldn't wait to start their online shopping trip. Their online shopping carts were full of a variety of items, from cap to shoes, also including different kinds of electronic devices. They stayed up later in front of the screens until Novermber 11th finally came. After 3 to 5 days, a lot of packages from many different regions came to their homes. During that period, they looked like super stars whereever they went to. Iphone 4 was their essential. Slowly, the heat of this festival faded even the vendors gave them a big discount. This year, actually it's the day before yesterday, I even didn't open the shopping apps. Eventually, we understand that this is a bif game about hunters and preys from the very beginning.

Last week was pretty eventful for me. First, I went to the dentist because I had a cavity that needed to be treated. The dentist drilled my tooth, and even though it didn’t hurt as much as I expected, the sound of the drill was still kind of scary. After that appointment, I felt relieved that the cavity was finally taken care of. A few days later, I joined a school field trip to Chinatown. The streets were colorful and lively, and the smell of delicious food filled the air. My friends and I tried some steamed buns and walked around looking at different shops. It was a fun way to learn outside the classroom. I also visited a brow salon for the first time. The staff shaped my eyebrows carefully, and the result looked much better than what I could do by myself. It gave me a little confidence boost. At the end of the week, my club had a celebration party. I was one of the organizers, so I tried my best to make sure everything went smoothly. Ironically, I ended up being the one who got the most drunk. Everyone teased me about it, but it turned into a funny memory.

One day, I went to Tokyo DisneySea with my friend who lives in another prefecture and went to the same elementary school as me. In the morning, I woke up on time, but it took me a long time to do my makeup and hair, so I left home late. Then, on the way to the station, I realized I had forgotten my headphones in my room, and I was really disappointed because I usually listen to music on the train. I spent a boring hour there, but I got excited when I thought about meeting my friend. We ate sandwiches for lunch and ramen for dinner. We also had churros and popcorn as a light meal. We rode some attractions and really enjoyed them.We had fun until the park closed. On the way home, we went our separate ways. I felt a little lonely, but I was happy to see my friend again after three months.

This Saturday will be a very special day for me. It is the retirement performance of my seniors in the Yosakoi dance circle. They have been leading us for a long time, and I have learned so much from them. Last week was the last festival where they danced with us. I felt very sad because it was the final time to share that stage together. Dancing with them always gave me confidence and joy, and now that time is coming to an end. I remember the first time I joined the circle. I was nervous and did not know how to dance well. My seniors were patient and kind. They taught me not only the steps but also the spirit of Yosakoi. They showed me how to smile even when I was tired, and how to support each other as a team. Because of them, I could grow little by little. Now it is almost our turn to become the leaders. I feel excited, but also very anxious. Can we guide the circle as well as our seniors did? Can we keep the same energy and passion? I hope we can. I want to make them proud and continue the tradition they built. Even though I am sad to say goodbye, I am also looking forward to the future.
